About me and my therapy practice
Life is not easy. Things seem to be taking us in different directions, but no matter what we do, we cannot find the right place for us. We go into different mental states: we feel sad, we shut down, we numb ourselves, and we think we need more fun. But there is something profound inside that we are missing. Some calm, peace, and integration. A feeling of presence, of being who we are, of breathing and feeling air coming in.
It is a place to rest, play, and explore, like when we were children, when the world seemed so open. It is also a place to reflect, make connections, and look back and forward.
The room is a space of safety, marking a different context. We create a way of being and relating that allows us to observe our daily lives. Our therapeutic relationship is a space to be who we are without masks—or to find who we are without masks.
Life is a journey, and therapy is a space to share that journey. We look to the past to open new futures. An open space allows the emergence of something new from within.
So we both can wonder about what is happening. We both can think, express, and play. Safely.
Practice description
I practise based on the values of trust and mutual understanding. I practise from the encounter of two persons, both discovering something new.
In this encounter, I bring emotional resonance, concepts to understand, and exercises to open new possibilities. I bring my knowledge and experience to this space but cannot know your colours, history, or how you will unfold. That makes each session unique: We are discovering and entering the new.
That keeps my practice alive. No matter how much you know, life is mysterious, a bit chaotic, and beautiful in its emergent forms.
My role is also to keep the exploration safe. I will give you resources, practises, and knowledge to understand and manage your emotions. We work together, and the only way to become 'more you' is to feel safe and create a space of mutual trust.
Like any deep relationship, we must connect multiple times, and our bodies and minds must become acquainted. Some things can happen quickly if you learn techniques (like meditation or body self-regulation), and others take time, like finding a deeper meaning or sense of life.
Healing early or complex trauma implies that not only the present you need to trust but also the parts of you that have been wronged. Those things take time, but they are a beautiful process of healing.
Please read more about me on my website, where I explain my way of working, my studies and publications, and a bit more about who I am.
My first session
We start by having a free phone call, so we can start sensing who we are, and you can ask me all your questions.
Then we agree on a day and time to meet in person. We will explore your situation, and I will respond with my understanding and first thoughts. This way, you can have an impression of how I see you.
Then you can decide if it is the right space for you.
